tess18's review against another edition
2.5
I bought this poetry collection when I was about 16 and I really liked it back then.
Now I reread it and I didn't know what I was thinking. The poems are kind of shallow and repetitive, maybe I liked them back then for their simplicity but now I was bored. It didn't inspire one creative thought in my head and a lot of my annotations were about the underused and wasted metaphors.
I would recommend this collection to a complete poetry newby, but that's it.

I absolutely loved this collection. If I were to compare the impact it left on me to another books or collection it would be that of Rupi Kaur or R.H. Sin. Amazing.

i liked the majority of it but there was one particular line in one of the later sections that gave me the immediate ick and it ruined it for me.
there's a section where the main idea is how you deserve love and happiness and all these things, and in that section there was a 2 line poem that said something about how you need good people and the line that followed that was "And good coffee. You need good coffee, too" and that one singular line about good coffee absolutely ruined it for me.
that coffee line reminded me of those cheesy signs at craft stores. A "live, laugh, love" mom would definitely see that poem with the coffee comment and want to put a decal of it on a blank kitchen wall. Because of the cheesiness of it, it made the entire collection of poems seem "fake deep" - something a 13 year old would write to seem mature to try to impress their cute english teacher.

I connected with some of these but most of them I didn’t. It’s not bad but I just didn’t feel it as much as I thought I would.
